Re: [sudo-discuss] Sleepers

by robb

for the record, Chris recently brought us many very useful audio cables (1/8" - xlr) including some that are hard to find (i was going to have to make em). i know that doesn't buy one's way out of abusing the space but maybe it warrants one last warning before a ban. either way, thank you, Juul, for addressing this pervasive matter.

Changes to sudo room github access

by Marc Juul

I changed around the access to sudo room's github. Specifically I increased security around sudo-humans since it deals with payments. If I accidentally revoked your access to something that you wanted access to then just let me know and I'll re-grant. Apologies for any issues. -- marc/juul

PCB Assembly gig, soldering surfacemount components

by Jake

my friend needs someone to solder surfacemount parts on some boards. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:03:23 -0700 From: Stephen Dunifer <stephen.dunifer(a)gmail.com> To: jake(a)spaz.org Subject: PCB Assembly Hi Jake, I have 20 PCB's requiring assembly, lots of SMD LEDs - 126 on 10 and 98 on the second set. Plus 805 caps and resistors, ICs etc. All surface mount. Pay is $15-$20 /hr cash, depending on experience and skill. Location is my shop in Rodeo. A vehicle is probably required since the public transit connections can take up to 1 1/2 hours from Oakland. These are the two PCB fab shops: pcbcart.com pcb4u.com Best, Stephen -- "You can live in your dreams, but only if you are worthy of them." - Harlan Ellison "Delusion for a Dragon Slayer" (1966)

[Noisebridge-announce] Fix-It Hardware Repair Club this Thursday!!! (fwd)

by Jake

zach is awesome! I might go to this. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2016 18:26:02 +0000 From: Zach R <organicunity(a)hotmail.com> To: Noisebridge Announce <noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net>, NB Discuss <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Subject: [Noisebridge-announce] Fix-It Hardware Repair Club this Thursday!!! Yep it's back! Join the Rich, Zach, Mike, and the rest of the gang as they journey into the heart of the circuit board in a quest to uncover the hidden shorts of the evil Electro! :P This Thursday @ 2169 Mission Street around 6pm until 10pm (or later). Most likely to take place at the square shaped Noisebridge Logo table by the front entrance. It's a fun little community class where you get someone with 10+ years of experience to look at your broken junk and try to bring it back to life! See the updated page for all the info: Noisebridge.net/fix Flyer: http://s18.photobucket.com/user/Segasonicfan/media/NB%20Hardware%20Class/20… == What do I need to know? == The class is more focused on an Intermediate level for those that already know how to solder. Everyone should be welcome though, and we recommend the class on how to solder<https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Circuit_Hacking_Mondays> which happens Mondays at Noisebridge. It helps a lot to have a working knowledge of the simple components like resistors, capacitors, etc. We will come together to share our knowledge on repairs. Some people have been doing electronic repairs for 10++ years! Note: this is a community class and not a "free repair shop." Also know that anything you bring it has the potential to be hacked, destroyed, or manipulated in some way, so it is important that you do not bring things for which holds for you monetary, sentimental, or any other kind of value. Repairs will be chosen based on interest and whim of the class, and your project is not guaranteed to be fixed of course. It's always fun though and everyone usually at least gets to diagnose what's going on. We've repaired many things already! Things to bring: Your Curiosity Something To Take Notes With Camera or Video device for recording repair procedures / steps Food or snacks since the class can go late sometimes

Sleepers

by Marc Juul

At last Wednesday's meeting sudo room consensed to re-instate Chris B's membership. He had previously been banned for repeated sleeping and domestic use of the space. On the night of the next day as I was doing the rounds to close down the space I found Chris sleeping in a chair up by the public terminals. Chris had promised us there wouldn't be a repeat of this behavior. If anyone sees a reason to not immediately re-instate the ban then speak up now or forever hold your peace. We can formalize it at the next meeting with enough members for consensus. Last night I found Prince sleeping in the public terminal area. This is at least the third time I've personally found him sleeping. I'm going to bring him up for ban if it happens again. If anyone feels like talking to him to prevent this then you should do so now. -- marc/juul

help with DIY PCB etching?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi folks, We could use some help with etching a printed circuit board at CCL next Saturday. Anyone have experience doing this? Any special equipment available in Sudo? The goal is not actually to make a PCB, but rather to use the copper traces of a PCB as a mold to cast silicone rubber on top, to make a microfluidic circuit. Thanks! Patrik

STEAM Vault event in Downtown Hayward, this Thurs June 16th

by Carl Gorringe

Hi there Sudo Room, The Hayward Techies are hosting this really awesome event called the STEAM Vault in Downtown Hayward this Thursday June 16th, 5:30 - 8:30 pm. It's in this grand old bank building. STEAM = Science, Tech, Engineering, Art & Multimedia. We're using the space to show off makerspace projects such as LED displays, VR, robots from established tinkerers and artists while also inviting local education groups (Alameda County Office of Ed, Ohlone College of Graphic Design, CSU East Bay) to intermingle. It's meant to raise awareness for a potential build out of a community hackerspace in Hayward, and it also is an open atmosphere for discussing art and the teaching of STEM. Outside of the bank, there's going to be a lot going on at the street fair: lots of food, drinking, and live music. You are invited to attend. (It's free!) And if you have any projects that you'd like to show, or would like to represent Sudo Room, we may still have some table space available. Let us know right away by emailing us at haywardtechies(a)gmail.com ! STEAM Vault - June 16th, 2016 5:30 - 8:30 PM http://haywardtechies.club/exhibit/ https://www.facebook.com/events/956889131097295/ - Carl G

Gig to make tech for volunteer Doulas.

by Maximilian Klein

Greetings Sudo Web Craftians, tldr: opportunity to make/finish a web-app for volunteer Doulas, doing social good and making a small amount of cash at the same time. I have been working with Spiral Doulas, an organization that mostly provides abortion support to low-income individuals in Minneapolis, to create a web-app that would manage their client interactions. Abortion doula organizations have very special privacy needs for their clients, and yet have no off the shelf technology at all to support them. The system must match clients and doulas anonymously until both parties accept the match, then swap contact information, and track results. In the spring, working closely with organizers we created a UI prototype which you can play with at http://doula.cs.umn.edu/client.html. The Spiral saw so much potential in the prototype that they asked if we could complete it this summer - which the old team can't. Would you like to help? The goal is to polish the front-end, which is half-complete, and implement the backend. We spent a lot of time prototyping the UX and running it through user testing, so we know we have something useful on our hands. In fact there are many volunteer doula organizations that have identical needs, so there might be many instances of this system rolled out. Which technologies to use? At the moment we have just written some javascript and css (all open source). As for the backend we were planning to use mysql and django, but don't consider the backend technology to be a deal breaker, you could make your choice. The old team would be glad to jump back in and help with development and support starting in the fall. The compensation right now is not finalized. Spiral have indicated that they have some money for summer development. This a small team with non-profit funding of only a few thousand dollars per year, so calibrate expectations accordingly. You'll also receive the satisfaction of writing a program that people will actually use, and use to make a positive change in the world. Email me max(a)notconfusing.com to find out more. Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

New bans

by Marc Juul

Last night Diana was safe-space-banned for physical violence against a member. This is after using the Omni as their living room for months, playing WoW all day and night and contributing nothing back. Sand was previously banned for repeated sleeping and lying about it, in case you missed that. Here's the wiki entry with a photo of Diana (did not get one of Sand): https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Asked_to_Leave#Individuals_Asked_to_Leave_the_… -- marc/juul

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Proposal for GCS/YES to become member collective

by Jenny Ryan

Up for consensus at the next Omni Delegates Meeting (June 16th). Please weigh in by the 15th with any questions, concerns, feedback! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 1:22 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Proposal for GCS/YES to become member collective To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, " discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: ALmaz <ahana75(a)gmail.com> Application from Global Communication Services/YES Program to become a member collective of the Omni Commons 1. Mission statement What do you do? The mission of Global Communication Services (GCS) is to provide community service for individuals, families, and community groups toward health consulting, health benefits, cultural exchange and immigrate support here in United States and international. The mission of Youth Empowerment Services (YES) is to advance and support children, youth, and family on academic breakthroughs in life development, job placement and other activities focusing and envisioning a community where all young people have the opportunities and access to programs without restriction of race, cultural difference or socioeconomic status. What happens in the world because you exist? Our program serves the community by tutoring/mentoring and providing educational workshops. We also teach cultural art history, and different languages through workshops and events. Our services encompass problem solving approaches based on education and tapping into the cultural strengths and living experiences of African immigrants and Black African American youth and families. We help to uncover the individuals hidden talents and strengths which leads to healthy self esteem, individual and group self-reliance. Our program is open to all ethnic groups who choose to excel and claim their genius! 2. Origin and group history How did you start? Originally, Global Communication Services (GCS) was established in 2012 as my (Almaz’s) consulting business to provide community service for individuals, families, and community groups toward health consulting, health benefits, immigrate support. Which included language interpreting and translating services. I had people working with me doing the same thing. As a part of GCS we taught cultural literacy for African immigrant youth, like cultural dance, language; as well as sports and hiking and camping trip to Yosemite National Park. After a long time personal experience working with immigrant families and being one of the reader for 13 afterschool programs at the City of Oakland in 2013. I seen the main problem children face especially around the low-income families and how new immigrant dealt within the public school system. At the end of 2014 decided to incorporate a few staff members to GCS and enhance the youth program, YES, which will focus on youth academic and life development support. How does your group make decisions? Our group makes decision collectively by majority vote if necessary to do so. So fare we don’t have any conflicts or misunderstanding, each staff member contributes to the program cooperatively. What have you done? We have helped several youth with their academic work, job placement, health and wellness training. We host community based cultural events and workshops. We are a pioneer collective group with different cultural and educational backgrounds. We work collectively with community groups locally, nationally and internationally. Our staff meets at least once per month. 3. Participation in the Omni Why are you interested in becoming a member? How does your group intend to use the space? What are your needs? Our mission and the objectives of the Omni are aligned. We both are working diligently to improve and empower individuals and the community. We also enjoy the location of the Omni. Hosting events at the Omni would be of great value to our team. Becoming a part of the ownership team is also a very exciting opportunity for our organization. We would like to be fiscally sponsored by the Omni. How does your group intend to use the space? We intend to use the space for workshops, classroom trainings, events, rehearsals, and collective member meetings. What are your needs? Our need is to have space at the Omni as a member collective. We will use the space to have locked storage, books, and a table for small class meetings. We will also have larger events like fundraisers, health trainings, or music and cultural programs that we would like to hold in the larger common spaces. 4. Group finances and paying rent? What does your group do to support itself financially? What is your best plan for contributing your potential share of rent to the Omni? Please include relevant financial statements, documentation of sufficient income (e.g. balance sheet, bank statement profit & loss statement). We have about $500 from the community fundraiser events and we are planning to charge sliding scale admission for workshops, classroom trainings, and other large music events. We have been invited to apply for several government and private grants. Our anticipated largest funding source for our youth project will be coming from grants and monthly member donations. We propose to pay $100 a month in rent plus utilities for the first three-months until we receive grants to support our program. After the first three months we will pay $200 for rent plus utilities and would like to become the stewards of the blue classroom and have priority use of that space. We do not plan to charge youth or low-income families for our services however, we do accept donations. We do not currently have a bank account. As a fiscally sponsored project we would open a sub account under the Omni’s bank account. 5. Dedicated space If your group would like some dedicated space at the Omni, what square footage and what features are you looking for? Which specific rooms do you feel might be suitable? We are proposing to steward and maintain the Blue classroom and keep a locked storage cabinet there after our first three months of membership. We would have priority for our youth classes and family consulting, and would make the space available to other groups when we were not using it. 6. Other contributions to the Omni This question should inspire some imagination. We are exploring ideas to pay rent and purchase the building in the long-term. The basic plan is for each group paying a share of rent. Potential plans include groups sharing profit from their activities, producing Omni events, and booking other events. What is the best-case scenario for using the Omni space to further support your group? One of the ways that we may be able to generate funds is by hosting monthly events. At first this income may be slow yet if we continue we will look to attract sponsors and also grow our attendance of our events. We also plan to produce mutually beneficial community programs for the Omni that would entail youth related film screenings, concerts & workshops… We can help the Omni by participating on the working groups. Almaz has been volunteering with the Commons working group for about 2 months. We hope that this project will greatly expand the scope of the Omni’s community and increase its visibility. There is a chance that funders and donors introduced to the Omni through our Program would financially support the project of the Omni. We plan to bring more African and African American community members and others who would increase the diversity of the Omni’s community in many ways, including inviting programming for and by community groups who represent our neighborhood and community. Wanda Sabir of KPFA and Sophie of KPOO are also media supporters of YES. We can mention the Omni on our radio broadcast and other media collaborations. 7. Additional information? Is there any other information that you think would be useful for us to know about your group? Our collective will have diverse group members, artists, business owners, educators, musicians, authors, which all those who organize and those who participate are all considered collective members. Will also have volunteers temporary member participates from deferent community groups, which include college/university students and community educators. All participates in our program would not necessarily be considered members unless they show constant involvement at YES program. Introduce your key collective members here Almaz Yihdego Founder and program coordinator/Tigrinya/Amharic teacher. Noura Hassaini Child Development English/French/ and Arabic teacher Lawrence Brisco Business development, entrepreneurship trainer through creative gardening and landscape design.

All ready to start cleaning up and rearranging the space * Max: Sorry our collective doesn't participate more in the Omni, barely staying afloat. Want street access as we have elders who don't like going up and down the stairs, and we have youth who are scared of the basement. Approached by Liz re: the room switch, weren't going to propose it but were invited to. Carry a lot of stuff up and down the stairs. People often won't come to work here because they don't like the office space, though I don't mind it, thrive in these conditions. * Matt: [can't transcribe ...] * Rachel: Don't see a conflict so long as all groups can pay the rent * Jabari: Worried that the price was too high (what Phat Beets is paying for that room) * Angel: I think we can do it, everyone else is working to step it up * Confusion about what LibLens proposed to pay for that room $150 * Liz: This is a simple and logistically sound proposal. It requires no special build-out to implement, doesn't raise permitting issues, and greatly benefits two existing and very active collectives in the Omni. If people won't accept the proposal because LL isn't offerring enough, then please at least consider the room upgrade for Phat Beets. LL is actively looking for new sources of income * Joe: to Max: Can you keep your stuff contained in the room ** Max: Yes, we're getting rid of a lot of stuff * Ken: I think someone suggested they start paying utilities * Steve: Strongly in support of LibLens moving downstairs, so they can keep working Straw Poll: * Jenny: Concerned about money, would like to see more of a committment from folks to help raise funds as Omni is barely (actually not even) making rent each month * AngeL: We can definitely hustle a bit more, to bring * Liz: Can we be given a reasonable amount of time to work up to $300/mo? ** Jenny: that would be dope ** Liz: We've been researching a lot of grants, and we're also beginning to plan the FTP fest again, that brings in a good bit of cash, but takes 2 months to organize * Ken: This proposal changes the dynamics of the basement in significant ways * Jenny: My only concern is that we have the ability to rent out the room by the back door (buried seeds) for $750-$1000 plus utilities, plus the $750 from Phat Beets with them in the basement. ** Maybe there's some way to ensure that there is some dedication in the proposal for raising the funds in the gap. * Ken: LL is willing to make a video for raising money for kitchen in basement, including a microbrewery. LL is willing to work in on the * Robb: Suggest we move forward with the proposal as is, then review the LibLens $$ contribution in a few weeks. * Laura: Amendment to proposal to review the $$ contribution three meetings from now, July (third thursday) * Proposal: ** Phat Beets $750 / mo (former buried seeds) ** Liberated Lens $150/mo basement (former phat beets) * In Favor: Joe (FNB), Steve (BAPS), Mary Ann (CSC), Rachel (GWS), Ken (CCL), Liz (LibLens) * Abstain: Jenny (sudo) Proposal passes :) <<<333 == Proposal: ABDC == >From Kazoo email to consensus May 19: The basement won't work for us until there is adequate ventilation. We are fine with using the space that was Buried Seeds if there is no way to make the main hall work, though our preference is still to be in the main hall to keep our operations more open and public. We unfortunately cannot pay 800$/month at this point. We would need to have 16 members to reach that rent rate, and it may take us a couple of months to get there. Currently we have 5 potential members ready to throw-down. We propose to move in June 1st, and pay for the security deposit ($800), and the first 3months rent (600$) 200$/mo for the first 3 months while we build our collective and get enough people to support the regular 800$/mo rent. We will begin paying full rent in September. So our proposed move in cost will be $1400 on June 1st. Please mention that our current space is 3 times the space of the Buried Seeds room and we pay only 400$/mo including trash and utilities. We have until January 2018 to be in the SF studio, so there is no rush for us to move out. That said, we are excited to be at Omni, and would love to move in by June 1st. We would love to be fiscally sponsored by Omni. This would help us obtain Bay Area Community Resource grants, and other local funding. What are the details they need from us to make this happen? http://kazoostudios.net/Omni_full_floorplan4.png Please let us know what options are on the table. It sounds like the best situation for everyone's concerns is for us to go to the "Utility Room". ===Discussion=== * Kazoo: We are super radical, we are really interested in being part of the Omni because it is a radical structure. Currently we have 9 members in our SF studio. The position here is that some of our members in Oakland, and some folks who want to print with us need wheelchair-accessible space, so the proposal came to the front hall or the Buried Seeds room. As soon as they said sure, a bunch of other collectives said "Hey, we want that space." It seems like at the moment there's no place for us to go. We could be mobile -- things don't have to be set. Made a proposal for how we could pack up our stuff really tightly in the front room. * Matt: Clarification: It's not necessarily impossible to be in the entrance hall, though there are zoning issues nothing is set in stone - it's just going to take some work. No one's talking to the Health Dept yet, for instance, and further discussions can be had w/ Planning & Zoning * Jabari: Member of Liberated Lens - him/he pronouns, we're proposing to move downstairs (1) we don't have a lot of room (2) we want more video editing stations (3) we have a lot of sensitive equipment, trying to get away from this heat, it can fry our equipment, (4) would be better to put all of our stuff in one location. and (5) Phat Beets needs an upgrade * Considered that Kazoo can move into the ticket booth. * Robb: Great idea for two reasons - accessible and if you're modular, can pack your stuff away and folks * Kazoo: That room looks good. Desire dedicated space, wouldn't be available for other folks to meet in there because we have a darkroom and need storage space. Unless we could build a darkroom outside of the room ** Robb: Any impeding on ballroom space could reduce our capacity, and there's nowhere else to store our chairs * We're not too picky about the particulars, just want to be able to start silkscreening in here. * Judith: I believe there are probably grants available for us to be able to make more wheelchair-accessible spaces. Anyone know about that? (No) * Joe: We were planning on adding a new closet over by the SW corner of the ballroom floor. We canned that idea before, but we could do something like that now. I think the chair storage problem can be solved. * Our space is currently underutilized, but we have a couple of prospective members in the east bay who want to create a business out of printing. It's empty a lot of the time. However, this would be a different opportunity here -- if you build it they will come. * The equipment is about the size of a large table and a small table that cannot be broken down, though they can be moved around. So if there was an event, say an accessibility training, they could be moved out of that room for the event * Robb: Wanted to raise the possibility of dual use, having some activities in the basement for those who aren't in a wheelchair ** Kazoo: That would still exclude the person in the wheelchair, we have two people in wheelchairs interested in joining the coop * Ken: You can be a paying member and have access, you can be a volunteer, or you can be a part-time user ($15 for 3 hours). There are several different levels of membership. Members who have 24-hour access, we can't really share that, right? ** Kazoo: Correct, we'd have to communicate about using that room. * Steve: Think your project is terrific. [I am terrible at transcribing Steve, sorry] Even with all of your stuff in there there's still about as much space as the Blue Classroom, which does get used. Other secondary uses of the room still possible, especially if equipment can be temporarily moved to the ballroom * Laura: What do you think about times when there will be loud music and events in the ballroom? ** Robb: Sometimes events need a green room for musicians and such... we were thinking of using that room, but now Lib Lens is discussing cleaning up space in the basement for that, and then musicians could have a backstage entrance * Matt: Next issue is that there's no accessible sink. Every proposal has its hitches, that emerge each time we talk about this. When will this god-awful nightmare end? ** Lots of back and forth about the sink issues, possibility to build out plumbing, using the ADA bathroom and installing a large sink there for washing out screens, etc * Would like to have youth programs at some point in the future, when the space is ready for it. Several coop members are youth educators * Straw poll re: ticket booth room: Most in favor, some not sure, none opposed * Ken: Could you one more time write a formal proposal for using the ticket booth room * Kazoo: could have two or three people in wheelchairs if we had our stuff in the room. If we can build the darkroom outside of the room * Laura: thanks Kazoo for her patience through this process. this is the real work of learning to live together, meet each others needs. * Mary Ann: Once we buy the building this will all change, we can get funding to make the building more accessible ==Application from Global Communication Services/YES Program to become a member collective of the Omni Commons== Proposed by Almaz Yihdego, 6/2/16 1. Mission statement What do you do? * The mission of Global Communication Services (GCS) is to provide community service for individuals, families, and community groups toward health consulting, health benefits, cultural exchange and immigrate support here in United States and international. * The mission of Youth Empowerment Services (YES) is to advance and support children, youth, and family on academic breakthroughs in life development, job placement and other activities focusing and envisioning a community where all young people have the opportunities and access to programs without restriction of race, cultural difference or socioeconomic status. What happens in the world because you exist? * Our program serves the community by tutoring/mentoring and providing educational workshops. We also teach cultural art history, and different languages through workshops and events. Our services encompass problem solving approaches based on education and tapping into the cultural strengths and living experiences of African immigrants and Black African American youth and families. We help to uncover the individuals hidden talents and strengths which leads to healthy self esteem, individual and group self-reliance. Our program is open to all ethnic groups who choose to excel and claim their genius! 2. Origin and group history How did you start? * Originally, Global Communication Services (GCS) was established in 2012 as my (Almaz’s) consulting business to provide community service for individuals, families, and community groups toward health consulting, health benefits, immigrate support. Which inculeds language interpreting and translating services. I had people working with me doing the same thing. As a part of GCS we taught cultural literacy for African immigrant youth, like cultural dance, language; as well as sports and hiking and camping trip to Yosemite National Park. After a long time personal experience working with immigrant families and being one of the reader for 13 afterschool programs at the City of Oakland in 2013. I seen the main problem children face especially around the low-income families and how new immigrant dealt within the public school system. At the end of 2014 decided to incorporate a few staff members to GCS and enhance the youth program, YES, which will focus on youth academic and life development support. www.globalcommunicationservices.org How does your group make decisions? * Our group makes decision collectively by majority vote if necessary to do so. So far we don’t have any conflicts or misunderstanding, each staff member contributes to the program cooperatively. What have you done? * We have helped several youth with their academic work, job placement, health and wellness training. We host community based cultural events and workshops. We are a pioneer collective group with different cultural and educational backgrounds. We work collectively with community groups locally, nationally and internationally. Our staff meets at least once per month. 3. Participation in the Omni - Why are you interested in becoming a member? How does your group intend to use the space? What are your needs? Our mission and the objectives of the Omni are aligned. We both are working diligently to improve and empower individuals and the community. We also enjoy the location of the Omni. Hosting events at the Omni would be of great value to our team. Becoming a part of the ownership team is also a very exciting opportunity for our organization. We would like to be fiscally sponsored by the Omni. How does your group intend to use the space? * We intend to use the space for workshops, classroom trainings, events, rehearsals, and collective member meetings. What are your needs? * Our need is to have space at the Omni as a member collective. We will use the space to have locked storage, books, and a table for small class meetings. We will also have larger events like fundraisers, health trainings, or music and cultural programs that we would like to hold in the larger common spaces. 4. Group finances and paying rent? What does your group do to support itself financially? What is your best plan for contributing your potential share of rent to the Omni? Please include relevant financial statements, documentation of sufficient income (e.g. balance sheet, bank statement profit & loss statement). We have about $500 from the community fundraiser events and we are planning to charge sliding scale admission for workshops, classroom trainings, and other large music events. We have been invited to apply for several government and private grants. Our anticipated largest funding source for our youth project will be coming from grants and monthly member donations. We propose to pay $100 a month in rent plus utilities for the first three-months until we receive grants to support our program. After the first three months we will pay $200 for rent plus utilities and would like to become the stewards of the blue classroom and have priority use of that space. We do not plan to charge youth or low-income families for our services however, we do accept donations. We do not currently have a bank account. As a fiscally sponsored project we would open a sub account under the Omni’s bank account. 5. Dedicated space - If your group would like some dedicated space at the Omni, what square footage and what features are you looking for? Which specific rooms do you feel might be suitable? We are proposing to steward and maintain the Blue classroom and keep a locked storage cabinet there after our first three months of membership. We would have priority for our youth classes and family consulting, and would make the space available to other groups when we were not using it. 6. Other contributions to the Omni - This question should inspire some imagination. We are exploring ideas to pay rent and purchase the building in the long-term. The basic plan is for each group paying a share of rent. Potential plans include groups sharing profit from their activities, producing Omni events, and booking other events. What is the best-case scenario for using the Omni space to further support your group? * One of the ways that we may be able to generate funds is by hosting monthly events. At first this income may be slow yet if we continue we will look to attract sponsors and also grow our attendance of our events. * We also plan to produce mutually beneficial community programs for the Omni that would entail youth related film screenings, concerts & workshops… * We can help the Omni by participating on the working groups. Almaz has been volunteering with the Commons working group for about 2 months. * We hope that this project will greatly expand the scope of the Omni’s community and increase its visibility. There is a chance that funders and donors introduced to the Omni through our Program would financially support the project of the Omni. We plan to bring more African and African American community members and others who would increase the diversity of the Omni’s community in many ways, including inviting programming for and by community groups who represent our neighborhood and community. * Wanda Sabir of KPFA and Sophie of KPOO are also media supporters of YES. We can mention the Omni on our radio broadcast and other media collaborations. 7. Additional information? Our collective will have diverse group members, artists, business owners, educators, musicians, authors, which all those who organize and those who participate are all considered collective members. Will also have volunteers temporary member participates from deferent community groups, which include college/university students and community educators. All participates in our program would not necessarily be considered members unless they show constant involvement at YES program. Introduce your key collective members : * Almaz Yihdego - Founder and program coordinator/Tigrinya/Amharic teacher. * Noura Hassaini - Child Development English/French/ and Arabic teacher * Lawrence Brisco - Business development, entrepreneurship trainer through creative gardening and landscape design. * Daniel Williams - Swahili and mathematics teacher * Akanke Adesokan - Holistic health and culturally relevant responsive holistic empowering counselor and performing artist * Eden Mana - health and wellness, health eating habits and nutrition counselor * Fiyory Melake - chemistry and biology teacher * Mical - Free art and graphic-design teacher * Baba Kala - Music and cultural history teacher * Far I Shields - musician, artist and author for global transformation * Melvin Cowan - program fund and resource advisor * Yoel Haile - student academic resource and job placement coordinator == Discussion: Judith issue relevant to FNB & Omni == * Judith: Concerned about the security of the building - incident with someone sleeping in the shower and becoming violent. Space does not feel safe to me, very anxiety-provoking. Think the shower has to stay locked, want to talk with FNB about it, part of the issue for me is the sleeping ban - people wouldn't be sneaking off to little corners of the building if it were acceptable to fall asleep in a chair here. Need to discuss it with FNB, mostly women on the FNB list were in favor of locking the shower. Do women feel safe here? Need to talk about it with the FNB collective, we couldn't come to consensus on anything last night at our meeting * Laura: Security comes up over and over again, we've tried lots of things... shower has come up before but not what happened to you. Talk to the users of the shower and come up with a proposal would be a good next step. * Matt: Think it's worth spending 15 minutes on this now [folks agree] * Ken: Just want to second your observations that women likely feel more threatened ... feels threatening to anyone to kick people out at 2 or 3 in the morning. Could charge for use of the shower and generate more income for Omni (except of course those who contribute to Omni). Zero tolerance policy on anyone making threats. * Matt: Put up a camera at the front door so you can see who's on the other side of the door without opening it (it's not recording). Get really fed up with cleaning up after people who stay here who aren't members and are irresponsible on top of it. For some reason we can't come to an agreement / implement our policy that people have to be a collective member to enter the building. * Judith: Would like to have a donation can, if someone wants a shower who's not a keyholder, the person lending the key ensures it's used responsibly. Proposal to have 5-6 keys.. and one on a master keyring. Whole access system has serious flaws, need to rethink what forms of rest from our guests and volunteers are acceptable, encourage a healthier culture around naps. * Max: One thing about locking the bathroom, some people don't want others to know that they're houseless... can be stigmatizing. Secondly, re: violence, some people with mental health needs use their language really loosely. Context is key, if someone's triggered and responds with violence, often they're responding to a different kind of violence. If someone says "I'm going to kill you," need to look at the context, what agitated them to say that in the first place. * Robb/Matt: Agitated about kicking people out, enforcing the non-member policy ** Member will say someone is their guest, but then they never leave, that's one of the core issues * Joe: I think we should have the showers open an hour or two a week, I brought this up before and volunteered to steward it. Would be a great service to provide. * Matt: Two distinct issues with the shower. 1) currently a resource provided for members and their guests... if member isn't present when a guest is using the shower that's an issue MEETING ADJOURNED == Discussion: How do we communicate with our neighbors? == * Julio: Scuttlebutt mailing list: How is it used? Okay to delay discussion to next meeting if run out of time and others don't want to discuss. == Discussion: How to get the Communications Working Group Working == == Example Discussion Item == = End of Meeting = * please archive these meeting notes by copying the entire pad contents onto the omni wiki * then please erase the contents of this pad * then please cut & paste a blank template from here: https://omnicommons.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Delegates_Meeting_Notes_T… * previous notes are archived here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Meetings

Electric hacker vehicles for sale. [ Re: [Noisebridge-discuss] 2013 Tesla Model S 85 KWh 4sale ]

by T

I'm selling my Vectrix. It's not as fast as a Tesla but has an AC drivetrain and it's battery can be upgraded more easily than a Tesla's. My Zero, on the other hand, can go as fast as most Teslas. But it's not for sale.

weird power supply

by robb

hi, i found a digidesign 882 i/o audio interface on the sidewalk this weekend w/o a power supply. the specs for psu: Input: 100-240 Vac EING 50/60 Hz 1.0A Max Output: +5Vdc/3.0A +15Vdc/2.0A -15Vdc/0.5A 36W Max UMEC AC Adapter UP0403A-03P can i just use an inverting op amp on a 5v 12v power supply & be done? or is 3v too big a difference (15v may just be for balancing the analog signal)? on the other hand, if anyone knows where to get a psu matching the above specs, that would be stellar too! thx

Jake will miss Hardware Hacking Tuesday

by Jake

this week, June 7th, I won't be able to make it to Hardware Hacking Tuesday, because i'm going to Toorcamp. If anyone else is available, please show up at Sudoroom and welcome newcomers as best you can! try to help them with their projects and introduce them to others (including people who are not present) who might share their interests or have answers for them. try to have a good time even though I won't be there. IMPORTANT: Tuesday don't forget to vote for Bernie Sanders! This message not endorsed by Sudoroom or The Omni. If you are a "No Party Preference" voter, you can still vote in the democratic primary, but you will have to specifically ask for a ballot with those choices on it. If you start filling out the ballot without those choices, you can still exchange it for the right one, they just void the one you wrote on and give you a new one. Don't take no for an answer, don't "mail it in" and don't be pacified with a "provisional ballot" -jake
